Re: Firmware v3.4 released

Thanks
Yes, the file is always the same for both the 460 & 462.

Re: Connection Issue Post v3.4 install BCS-460

Did you typo in your message? It says you entered .61 in the BCS and .63 in your browser.

Re: starting a process after power up without web UI

I think that I really do not want that process starting every time I power it up... would be nice to have a pseudo-process running that you could assign an input/proc pair other thoughts.. option 1 - yes, have the process start, but add in a pre-start state that requires the continue button to be p...

Re: starting a process after power up without web UI

Out of curiosity, why are you looking to have Proc7 start Proc0? Why not just set Proc0 as the force-run?

Re: starting a process after power up without web UI

Unfortunately, yes, that is all required. Spawning or stopping processes from a state require you to actually exit the state.

Also, on the 462, there is a bug that prevents force-run of processes 5-7. Not sure if you're using a 460 and this is no issue, but for me it is.

Re: +5VDC terminal.. is is hard wired to the PWR jack?

OK, instead of imagining it, I looked at the specs. The wiki lists the input specs as being 6-10 vdc which means that there definitely is a voltage regulator on the input. Now technically, depending how the traces are setup, you may be able to do what you want. However, you'll be bypassing all input...

Re: +5VDC terminal.. is is hard wired to the PWR jack?

Why not just snip the cord from the original power supply and wire that to your new 5V power distro and plug it into the BCS? I have to imagine there is a voltage regulator and some protection diodes at the input jack that probably wouldn't be in the loop if you supplied power directly to the 5V out...

Re: Problems with ebay 12v Relay Board

Do you have a multimeter? If so, can you verify your input voltage to the board at GND and VCC. Red probe on VCC and black on GND should give you around 12 volts. If it says -12V, then you may have your power input leads backwards. What are you powering the GND and VCC inputs from (not the BCS board...
